Administrator of the Emir's Palace

Drawing inspiration from Northern Nigeria specifically the Hausa tribe this piece reflects the region’s cultural heritage through the detailed portrayal of a man dressed in traditional Hausa attire, commonly worn by those within the Emir’s palace. The figure, likely a royal attendant or herald, holds an instrument traditionally used to entertain, announce, or welcome the Emir’s presence. Through this expressive portrayal, the artist emphasizes the dignity, symbolism, and cultural richness embedded in the ceremonial roles of the Hausa people, paying tribute to their living traditions and the respect they command within society.
